Articolo:Concert and march for climate action

Midnight Youth will perform at a free public concert to support Greenpeace’s Sign On climate campaign.

The band, which began at Rangitoto College, will join Opshop, Don McGlashan and Kirsten Morrell at the event, which will be MC’ed by comedian Rhys Darby. Ambassadors Lucy Lawless and Keisha Castle-Hughes will also appear.

The Planet A March and Concert for the Climate is aimed at allowing New Zealanders to show their support of a strong outcome at the Copenhagen climate conference.

The event starts with a march from Albert Park and up Queen St to Myers Park.

Ms Lawless says those involved take climate change seriously.

"We want our prime minister to know that the people of New Zealand demand that he attends the world summit in Copenhagen and support a 40-percent 2020 emissions reduction target."

The Planet A March and Concert for the Climate is on December 5. The march up Queen St kicks off in Albert Park at 1pm. The concert in Myers Park is from 2.30pm to 6.30pm.
